why would you browse to their homepage for that? its exactly why custom search engines exist, and its sure as hell is faster to write "ia ctrl-v" into your address bar than navigating there...
Because it's not default, and learning how to tweak a browser isn't fun to me. I'd rather study history, or how to write well.
I also have an irrational sense that bypassing someone's website is wrong. By avoiding their homepage, I'd also be avoiding their plea for donations, for example. But I realize this is an irrational feeling, and the only reason I'm voicing it is because you asked why I personally won't do that.
